I just got the iPhone 12 Pro Max and when I take photos, and then go to look at the photo, the phone appears to auto-enhance the photo. Is there a way to turn this off? It's making some of my photos (mainly with people in them) look terrible. It's over-exposing and over-saturating the photo and no amount of editing can make it look normal after that. It's extremely frustrating.

Just got 12 Pro Max and am experiencing this with the native camera app. I tried everything, so I’m just using Camera+ 2 now.
Also, one correction that helps after you take photo is “noise reduction” that will temper some of the over sharpened non sense.
I FIGURED IT OUT, go to settings then Photos, then turn off “View Full HDR”, I tested it and it works.
As discussed above - turning off view full hdr does NOT work
I also found that turning the flash to the ON position also seemed to leave my photos with no enhancements. Except the flash of course :)
Wow, this is the only real way to circumvent the Deep fusion added by Apple other than a third party app. Thank you! I was starting to get so frustrated by it.
They say it’s the intended behavior.
I use Halide app and turn off fusion.
Oh, crap. No, I didn’t fix it after all. It’s auto-sharpening. Will try using the Moment camera.
Yeah, the Moment camera works. I recommend just installing that. It’s an app that works with Moment lenses, but it also works without them. Just a better camera app that won’t treat you like a child.
If it's been 14 days or less, you may want to return it for a refund and get something else.
